     Charles Chauncy was born in 1589.⁴ He was the son of George Chauncy and Anne Welch.^2,3 Charles Chauncy was christened on 5 November 1592 at Yardley-Bury, Hertfordshire.⁵ The emigrant ancestor of all who bear the name of Chauncy and Chauncey in the United States. He received his preparatory training at Westminster school, and entered Trinity college, Cambridge, where he was made a Bachelor of Arts in 1613, and M.A. in 1617. He was also made a fellow of the college, and in 1624 was given the degree of B.D. He was chosen professor of Hebrew, but resigned in favor of a relative of the vice-chancellor, and was appointed to the Greek professorship. He remained at Trinity for some time, and then preached for a season at Marston Laurence, Northamptonshire. In 1627 he became vicar of Ware, Hertfordshire, where his peculiar puritanical opinions involved him in difficulties with his ecclesiastical superiors. In January, 1629, he was called before the High Commission Court on the charge of having used in his sermons certain expressions condemnatory of the Church, and is said to have made his submission to Bishop Laud. In 1635 he was again prosecuted for opposing the railing in of the communion table at Ware; was suspended, cast into prison, condemned to costs, and obliged to make a humiliating recantation.

He left England late in 1637, and arrived at Plymouth, Mass., in May, 1638. For about three years he preached with Mr. Royner at Plymouth, and in 1641 was elected pastor of the church at Scituate, where he preached for twelve years. His pastorate in Scituate was for many reasons unpleasant to him, partly because of a difference of opinion among his parishioners, and partly because of a lack of financial support. His persecutor, Bishop Laud, had been executed, and a change had taken place in the attitude of the church; Mr. Chauncy was invited to return to Ware, and had reached Boston, whence he was to sail, when he was invited to become president of Harvard College. He was inaugurated Nov. 29, 1654, and entered upon the duties of the office at a salary of £100 per annum. He is the author of: The Plain Doctrine of the Justification of a Sinner in the Sight of God, Six and Twenty Sermons (1659), and Antisynodalia Scripta Americana.³ He married Catharine Eyre, daughter of Robert Eyre and Agnes Still, on 17 March 1630 in Ware, Hertfordshire, they had six sons, all bred to the ministry, and two daughters.^3,6 Charles Chauncy emigrated in December 1637 to Plymouth, New England.⁶ On 29 November 1654 he was a President of Harvard College.² He died on 19 February 1671 in Cambridge, Massachusetts.⁴
